Brice Marden Catalogue Raisonné of Paintings

The definitive compendium of the paintings of a brilliant American artistThis impressive volume includes nearly five hundred paintings—approximately ninety of which have never before been published—made by Brice Marden (1938–2023) over the course of his six-decade career between 1961 and 2023. It represents the most definitive and comprehensive study of Marden’s painting oeuvre. A master of color and touch—from the subtle, shimmering monochromes of his earlier career to the calligraphic compositions that characterized his later work—Marden extended and refined the traditions of lyrical abstraction.Published by Gagosian in collaboration with the Estate of Brice Marden, the catalogue raisonné is organized chronologically and includes for each painting: a color reproduction (with a few exceptions), complete caption details, inscriptions, provenance, solo exhibitions, group exhibitions, literature, alternate titles, studio location, and explanatory notes. The notes employ the artist’s own words about the painting whenever possible—often pulled from unpublished notes or interviews in the artist’s archive—and avoid interpretation. In addition to a foreword by Larry Gagosian, an introduction and note to the reader by Tiffany Bell, and a detailed, illustrated chronology by Tiffany Bell and Anna Gray, two texts by Marden provide insightful bookends to his approach to painting. Distributed for Gagosian
